Biography
Robert Goldfarb was born in Aussig, Austria-Hungary (present-day Usti nad Labem, Czech Republic) to a family of Catholic Sudetens, and he served in the Austro-Hungarian Army during World War I. Goldfarb saw little action, however, as he entered the army just a few months before Austria-Hungary signed an armistice with the Triple Entente. After the war, Goldfarb fought in the Carinthian War against the Kingdom of Yugoslavia as an Austrian soldier, leaving Czechoslovakia after it became independent. Goldfarb joined the Austrian Nazi Party due to his fascist beliefs, and he supported the Anschluss with Nazi Germany in 1938. Goldfarb would enter the SS and become an Obersturmbahnfuehrer, and he would be made the police chief of Reichenberg (Liberec) after the annexation of Czechoslovakia. In 1943, Goldfarb was ambushed by Czechoslovakian partisans as he drove out of town with a few German troops, being shot in the head by machine-gun fire.
